Why is that there's always a few twats who like to sit down.....and then moan when they can't see? If you can't see I say move....standing up creates an atmosphere and sat we needed that....

Sorry about the delayed response but am only just back at work today...:evil:

the people to the left of me all sit down, then our block stands and the other two do.
it does affect the atmosphere as last season the whole town end was standing up and increases the volume by double obviously.

It's an all-seater stadium fella's. Like it or not, you're in the wrong not them.

Yeah I have paid for my seat and if I want to sit in it then I will, if some tosser stands infront of me he gets a polite punch in back of head  :D

Only nerds and geeks sit down in the town end

Sitting in the TE, does seem to be a bit of a stupid thing to do....its not designed for sitting, so basically you can't see anything much.

 I'd have thought if you really want to sit, you'd go on the side and pay an extra 6, for the view.

 I'd absolve from this the disabled, aged and infirm.

well put i think.

If you want to sit, buy a ticket on row A! Then everyones happy! Except you because you will complain about the view and end up standing up to see whats going on, then the person behind you will stand up and so on and so on and so on.

People thought the TE was great last year, and everyone stood up.
Now people go in there, sit down, and complain when nobody is chanting!

Its the people who INSIST on standing, especially in the front two rows that will inevitabily see The Town End closed. I like to stand as much as the next man but not at a cost to the club. I would like to sit in The Nationwide but at £23 a ticket you can kiss my arse.

Swindon is an all seater stadium, you buy a ticket and sit in a seat, there are no other option available, no standing room, seating only, most people find this is quite clear,

if someone's in your seat, politely ask them to move it!! or tell a steward, there is no excuse for standing on the stairway or anywhere, if someone turns up at the ground and they choose to act above the rules, I think they should be banned, they may think there the towns hard-core, but the children and some adults in the back row cant see the game, and quite clearly there is a safety issue

Theres no way the Town End will be closed down because it would cost the club too much money.

Its not the club who decide to close it, retard.

Doesnt matter. Retard.

Show me an end thats been closed in the last 10 years? Retard.

The end only gets closed if you have a full blown riot from that stand. Retard.

Read my lips. It wont be closed down. I wonder how mouthy you were in that pub in Sheffield now.

I love you, DST!
(retard)













(I'm joking btw)















(I drove to Didcot the other day, unfortunate aren't I?)

Well at least we have an end to close down - sorry Oxford Fan

Of course they'd close it!

It's not the clubs decision mate! If you want some stands that have been closed in the last 10 years, Blackpool and Barnsley (forget the names)

I agree that standing up creates a better atmosphere but it's not like the club can just rip the seats up is it! It doesn't take much of an effort to sit down.

I maybe wrong but did Man Utd have part of there ground closed a few seasons back due to standing in some areas.

Man Utd for a start, pretty high profile eh?

Retard.

i don't think i would ever ever sit in the town end, its the worst view ever. if i had to sit i would probably go in arkells, start some chanting in there!  8)

That's like trying to start a fight with a Mormon

No Man United had it threatened against them and nothing happened. So doesnt that back up my point? (Im sick of the retard thing, you can have that).

Barnsley and Blackpool had terraces closed because they were derelict. Blackpools terrace dividers were death traps. NO SEATER STAND HAS EVER BEEN CLOSED FOR STANDING.  :old

To be honest, even if it were closed for a few games now, in my mind it would have been worth it (controversial I Know). I quit the Town End this season. It gave Swindon fans an identity in the league. It gave our fans some self respect. The 2001-2004 seasons in there were fantastic, the best feelings Iv had at home games since 1996. Iv had laughs so hard my sides almost split. Iv heard chanting so loud it sent shivers down my spine. I celebrated goals so vigourously with my mates that it left me completely out of breath and my shins in tatters. Id say 2002-03 (Parkins first season) I had more fun at home games than away ones, which was unique. I said good bye after the Brighton play off game, which was a good send off, the TE didnt dissapoint that day.

Realistically I think standing in the Town End will be phased out next season anyway. The current lot wont have the stomach to tell the stewards to piss off when they get arsey. So to some extent Dave.  :surrender   :beers  (Didnt mean that thing about Sheff anyway)

You just stay out of the Arkells, we don't want your sort in there!  We want to be able to sit down, watch the game and have a good moan!

yeh sounds about right!, but we will transform that someday for one game at least!  :soapy tit wank:

I wish the TE would go back to how it was before but its falling apart because people on the left hand side want to fucking sit down in silence! It really pisses me off.

IF YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN, BUY A TICKET AT THE FRONT!!!

I hate the old (no offence to anybody) guys that sit at the back of the TE and expect everyone to sit down just for them! Hypocrites!

and I bet they hate assholes like you, they buy a ticket in a ALL SEATER stand, and Shock horror sit in there seats, and then cant see because of fucks like you standing in there way, you dont make the fucking rules,and if chumps like you act above the rules, you should be banned

Theres a meeting on Thursday with the Health and Safety guys so you can argue all you want but if/when it's closed on Thursday you'll look foolish.

Don't think they won't do it. I hope they don't but if the town end don't get the message then it's their own problem.

sitting down in the town end is stupid, why would you want to anyway, the view is shocking to be honest, i only go in there for the chanting and atmosphere.
if it is closed then people will go somewhere else? simple as surely?

Yeah course they are going to close the Town End on thursday.  :roll:

Course they are mate.

Its so dead in there at the moment that a little shake up wouldnt be a bad idea actually (and I mean that). The TE's had about 2 hours of good atmosphere all season.

not even that. it is shocking now, i reckon we should lead a revival in the arkells.  :soapy tit wank:
